Let's break this down. We're going to add 2711 and 1169 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 9 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 1 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 2711 + 1169 = 3880.
